French media: Rabiot will be selected for the French national team, Marseille s ban will not prevent him from participating in the September World Cup qualifiers

August 26, According to Le Parisien, although Rabiot was banned in Marseille, he will still be selected for the new French national team.

In the next World Cup European qualifiers, France will challenge Ukraine away (September 6) and face Iceland at home (September 10). On Wednesday afternoon local time, French coach Deschamps will announce the list of the two World Cup qualifiers in early September. Le Parisien believes that Rabiot will still be selected successfully.

Rabiot had a fight with Marseille teammate Jonathan Roe in the locker room after the first round of the Ligue 1 this season. The Marseille Club later announced that it would exclude the two from the first team roster and be included in the sales list this summer. Last Sunday, Jonathan Rowe had officially left Marseille to transfer to Bologna, and Rabiot has not found a suitable next home and will continue to be banned in Marseille club.

However, Le Parisien pointed out that Rabiot's position in the French national team is still stable. Rabiot, 30, has played 53 times for the French national team and is the main midfielder of the national team. Rabiot refused to be selected for the national team's alternative list before the 2018 World Cup, and missed the national team for two years. But in September 2020, Rabiot returned to the French national team and has since become one of Deschamps' most commonly used main players.

In the UEFA Europa League semi-finals and the third and fourth finals in June this year, Rabiot started for the French national team and played all over the game, which shows his indispensable position in the team. Le Parisien said that the French national team believes that although Rabiot was punished for clashing with his teammates in Marseille, he still has a healthy image in the French national team, and the club's problems will not put pressure on his position in the national team.

However, Rabiot's consecutive absences in Marseille may affect his form. Deschamps is in close consultation with the members of the French national team coaching staff and pay attention to the further development of the Rabiot incident. For Rabiot, the best choice is to transfer and leave the team. Currently, Naples, Inter Milan, Milan, Villa, West Ham and Galatasaray are all rumored to have an affair with him.

In addition, Marseille coach Dezelby hinted last weekend that he wanted to settle the problem and said he "hopefully find conditions to solve the problem." Given that the summer transfer period is only one last week, Rabiot may also end up having to stay in Marseille, players are not rejected.
